She continued: "He is a mortal being who has had opportunity and ability to train his mind and his body in ways people could hope to do a fifth of in their lives."

Leo added that Cruise treated his co-stars with respect and was totally dedicated to making Oblivion a memorable film.

"The biggest story in all of it - with all the questions that have come and will come about working him - is that it was another day on another set with another actor," she said, further commenting: "[It was] the joy and pleasure we get from giving to one another."
